The DerYish.

Unto Prince Abdalasis came one day
ADervish, saying, II have tasted still
For six long years ON bread and water.
till
MY flesh is sora, yet God seems far away"
The prince made answer: Fasting thou
may'st fare
Halfway to God, His threshold reach by
prayer"
The Dervish went his way, and in six years
Again came back. 81 pray both day and
night
AT Mecca and Medina, and in sight
OF every mosque Of sanctity; with tears
Have made pilgrimages to each spot
OF holy fame; but God found Him not,
The Prince then kindly answered him: by
prayer
The threshold Of great Allah do we win,
But It's almsgiving that doth lead US in
To stand before His glorious presence there.
Go forth; give aims: thou fndest Allah
when
Thou hndest thy poor suffering fellow
men"
The Derv.sh heard the word, and turned to
to go.
Perplexed and grieved be toiled along the
road
This one coarse loaf that charity be-
slowed
On me is all that have to bestow.
Win the great Allah deign a thought to
take
On such mean offering given for His sakep
Within an hour a crippled beggar came
And reached his hand a charity to crave;
Kindly his coarse brown loaf the Dervish
gave.
"Tis all I have, friend; take it in Gods
name"
Then suddenly around about him there
A mighty sp!endor dazzled all the air.
The Dervish bowed his head. A light divine
Did overflow him from a heavenly place.
He knew it was the light of AlIah's face.
"Now need / seek no pilgrimage nor shrine
Wherever one poor soul asks aims of me,
know, God, even there can find
Thee"

Woman's Life in Holland.


a few days ago your correspondent
was explaining to some ladies the privi-
Ieges pertaining to their sisters in Amer
lea, says an Amsterdam letter in the
Milwaukee Sentinel, and casually men
toned that women in some parts of the
United States enj yed the privilege of
voting. The incredulous look which in
stantly appeared leads to letter, telling
the more favored daughters Of the land
of the free what part in the economy Of
life women in Holland occupy. Tho dis
tinctions of privileges as to freedom,
ETC., between married and single women
are so thoroughly established by social
custom as to be observable in the every
day associations of the sexes. a native
will readily discover whether the couple
walking on the street in front of him are
married or not, and this discovery is
made very easy by the strict adherence
of the pcpulaco to an ancient custom in
troduced into the country when under
the iron rule of "Alva the Bloody" the
cruel tool of Philip the Second.
An unmarried lady always takes the
right arm of her escort, while the mar
ried one selects the left side of her hus-
band. So deeply has this custom en-
tered into the life of Hollanders that at
a church we'd ling the bride enters the
edifcc on the right side of the groom,
the young wife returning on
the left side of her husband when the
ceremony is performed. No unmarried
lady in this country can dream of going
to church, concert or any other place OF
public assemb!age without the escort of
parents or male members of her family.
She cannot take walk, pay visit or
go shopp n; unaccompaaied by her
mother or some married lady friend. The
Hollander father is not like his American
competitor, troubled in the evening
with the thought that his daughter is
hattening the pocketbook of poorly
paid dude by an indncrimina.e indul-
gence in ice cream or Oysters. Until the
betlothal of the young lady has been
announced, she remains the sole charge
of her father or mother, and she makes ac-
quaintanccs always in the presence of a
third party. The Holland young lady
does not go to the theater with gentle
man who has been introduced to her Il
week before, neither does she vary her
beau to suit h'r dress or complexion.

One day recently, the following
amusing incident occurred in one of
our district schools, unfortunately at the
teachers expense. A class in the Second
Reader, unapt in ornithoIogy, was read
ing about the golden robbins and their
peculiar habits After they had finished
reading the teacher asked the class if
any one coGld tell her the color Of the
golden Robin. All were silent. Think
ing to enlighten them upon the subject
she took a handsome and apparently
costly ring from her finger, and, boiling
it up before the class, said

Weather Errors.

Few erroneous notions are spread 8
readily and cling so tenaciously as thos
respecting the weather. In noticing
common errors of this kind, Prof. CIeve
land Able, the distinguished metcorolos
gist, urges attention to these facts
That while the moon might we'll be ex
pccted to influence our weather, scientif5
evidence shows that it does not, thas
there is no sound reason for believing
that sunspots have any appreciable efTeca
in producing storms, or other locas
changes; that animal instinct ranks
greatly below human intelligence as 3
guide to future weather; that the indi-.
cations furnished by plants arc due ID
the microscopic condition of the air, as
are also other ''signs," and are less dclis
cate and reliable than the accurate in
strumental tests Of meteorologists; that
electricity and ozone do not produce
the effects often ascribed to
them; that thunder storms do not cool
the air, but the cool thrush results like
the storm, from the rise OF hot air--at
least in many cases that it has not YET
been proven that the removal OF forests
and the extension of railroads and tele-
graphs have influenced our climate /;
that the weather is materially the same
as in old-fashioned times, scientific
records disproving the fa1lty recollcc
tons of the oldest inlabitant; and that
severe storms are no more liable to oc-
cur at the date Of the cquinoxes, 81 on
certain days Of the week or month, than
at other times. IArkansaw Traveller.

Two barns said to be filled with un-
thrashed wheat were recently burned in
Germany. They were insured, but il
was impossible TO collect, because tho
claim was made that the contents of the
barns were simply straw. When the
affair got iuto the courts, chemical ex-
ports were ca led to analyze the ashes.
Wheat contains large quantity Of phos-.
phoric acid, almost ten times as much az
does straw. Naturally, in the burning Of
these barns, wood ashes cement and.
other mineral substances were mixed
with the ashes submitted to the CHI, M
lists, but none Of these aamixtures con-
tain phosphoric acid. The experts found
that Of two samples placed in their
hands one contained 1913 per cent. and
the other 10 per cent. Of the acid, thus
proving concusyely that the farmers
were in the right, and the insurance.

ONCE over the bar al it's entrance from
the Gulf, the Suwante River holds its
way with deep current, In places OF
forty feet, far up through the forests Of

good land upon it where plantations
have heretofore been made, but after

wife departs in the next India mail
steamer to bring happiness and pros
perity to the lonely one in the far East.
A marriage of this description is as bind
ing as il the bridegroom were present,
and never repudiated. If either party
to the glove marriage should die before
meeting in India, the survivor would
share the property of deceased in accord
ance with the laws.
The laws in Holland in regard to the
legal position of the wife are very much
behind the age, and the husband can do
about as he likes with the person and
property of his helpmate. The laws arc
silent as to the wife's claim on the hus-
band, but legal gentlemen assure me
that this apparent void in the law book
is caused by the invariable devotion of
the Hollander 20 his home and its in
mates. Love for home, wife and chill
dren is nowhere more thoroughly illus
trated than in the Netherlands, and
cases of neglect to provide in every pos
sible way arc very rare in the land Of
dykes.
The wives of the lower classes and
their daughters try in every imaginable
way to aid the husband in procuring
living. In summer time you will observe
hundreds of them on their knees in the
public squares armed with three inch
iron spike wedding the grass blades from
between the stones, for which they re-
ceive twelve cents per day; others are
engaged in wheeling sand into outward
bound merchant ships to be used as bal
last. You will see a woman pushing a
wheelbarrow containing about 200 lbs.
of sand up broad gangway inclined
about thirty degrees, at gait simply
wonderful considering that the wheeler
IS of the weaker sex.
Passing little farther on yon will
meet a small procession on the towpath
Of the river Amstel, consisting of the
mother and two or three daughters,
harnessed to the towline of canal boat,
very much in the manner Of American
mules. They hang, as it WERE in the
harness, and the swinging, regular walk
used by them proves that great part Of
their lives has passed in that way. When
the boat comes abreast you feel like
using a ropes end on the father Of the
family, who, pacidly smoking a pipe,
sits in the stern steering the vessel; but
your anger viii cool when investigation
shows that if he took to the towpath and
allowed his wife the helm all damages
for collision, etc, would have to be paid
by him.
You cross araiIroad track, and, cast
ing glance along the iron path, a
female dressed in red tunic and glistcn-
ing helmet, waving a white signal flag,
catches your eye She is the watch
man" at the crossing. At every railroad
in Holland this position is filed by a
woman, and railroad officials assure me
that no accident has ever been caused
by watchwoman's carelessness. They
receive 90 gulden (S8 per months; a
male would receive double that salary,
and might get intoxicated once in
awhile; hence the railroad is benefited
both ways.

Sheep on the Farm.

Another great advantage sheep have.
over other farm stock is their immunity
from contagious diseases. 1t is true they
sometimes get the scab, foot-rot or some
thing of that sort, which if allowed to run
unchecked, may possibly carry some of
them off. But these diseases are gen.
orally OF such a character as yield readily
to treatment. A lot of hogs may be fed
on corn for months, and about the time
they are ready for market, some disease
no one knows what-attscks them and
carries them off, one by one, until few if
any are left. This is no unusual occur
renee, while sheep are happily exempt
from any such rapid and fearful mortal
ity. Besides, when sheep dies, as some
times they will, it never dies in debt to its
owner-its pelt being sufficient to pay
for it's keep for as much as twelve months
after it's last shearing. -Baltimor Sun.

SAFE SUMMER DRINKS.

A glass of cool water, not ice water, is the
most delicious, grateful, gratifying bever-
age that person can take in hot weather,
besides costing nothing and leading to no
bad habits. Men in glass-factories, where
the heat is fearful, drink water only, Lot
iced, and are healthy and vigorous. Field
hands, on cotton and sugar plantations,
drink mixture of molasses and water.
A safe drink for harvesters is water in
which oatmeal has been stirred. In warm
weather, when there is excessive vermic-
ular action of the bowels, or looseness, as
it is familiarly called, every step person
takes has tendency to set the bowels in
motion. Instinct and common sense,
therefore, dictate the most perfect rest.
Drinking fluids sggravate the malady.
Jumps Of ice chewed and swallowed in
as large pieces as possible will allay the
excessive thirst. Psrched rice boiled and
eaten with boiled milk is the best food.
This treatment will cure nine cases of ten
il adopted within forty-eight hours; if
not, call physician.

Mushrooms.

In making mushroom bed, you want
to keep all the ammonia in the manure,
il you possibly can, for on this gas de-
ponds the fruitfulness of your bed, nitro
gen is not more essential. Therefore
your droppings must be kept in shed
and turned over every day to keep them
from heating until you have sufficient to
make your bed, which should be at least
ten inches in depth, and as large as you
like.
When you have collected sufficient
whether your bed is a cracker box in
corner of the cellar, or larger affair in q
house heated and constructed for the
purpose, mix the whole mass with little
good soil, put it in place in layers, beat
ing it as firmly as possible, you can't have.
it too firm, leave it until the heat is about
80 deg. Then spawn, putting in pieces as
large as walnut, about every six inches
all over the bed. Put on two inches of
good loan, beat everything firm and
snug, cover carefully from light with
Cl6du nay: dHu leave IL AiODe LOT week
or two. BY this time you will be able to
see the spawn breaking in patches ell
over the bed, and in another two weeks
may begin to give gentle sprinkling of
water every few days, and believe you
will soon be carrying in handfuls, hstfule,
bseketfuls of mushrooms, according to
the size of the bed and the intelligent
carrying out of my directions.

OIL ON WAVES.

The phrase "to pour oil on the troubled
waters" has long been used as a meta
phorical equivalent for quieting excite
ment or passion; but there is now ample
evidence that, in literal sense, oil is of
service in lessening the effect OF danger
GUS seas. In one case the "slick made
by the oil extended thirty feet 70 wind
ward, and the United States Hydro
graphic Office concludes that the oil is Of
use when the vessel is reaching ahead at
the speed of eight or nine knots, with a
beam wind and sea. Canvas bags are
filed with oil and are then hung over the
sides of the ship SO that the oil gradually
oozes out upon the waves, which are
thereby changed from dangerous break
ers, to long rolling and comparatively
harmless swells.
